Boasting Excluded

26 (in the forbearance of God), for proof of his justice at the present time, for him to be righteous, and who makes the man from Jesus' faith righteous. 27 Where then is the boasting? It is excluded. By what law, of works? No, but by a law of faith. 28 We therefore consider a man to be made righteous by faith independent of works of law.
